The Little Mermaid - Ariel's Beginning

CD-Charts > DVD > Kids and Family
starring: Jodi Benson, Sam Wright, Jim Cummings, Kari Wahlgren, Parker Goris
directed by: Peggy Holmes

Release Date August 26, 2008
Disney should have a warning label. My 3.5 yr old watched this in tears on the way to "the happiest place on earth" and after meeting Mickey, Minnie and Goofy, still had nightmares about mommy dying. Who the hell decided this was a good subject for a kids movie?

The Nightmare Before Christmas (2-Disc Collector's Edition) + Digital Copy

CD-Charts > DVD > Kids and Family
starring: L. Peter Callender, Randy Crenshaw, Judi M. Durand, William Hickey, Edward Ivory
directed by: Henry Selick

Release Date August 26, 2008
I was looking REALLY hard for this dvd last year and I had no luck. I eventually decided to rent it from Blockbuster with no intent to return. A few months later when I heard about the new release i was ecstatic. I pre-ordered it about 2 weeks ago and received it right away. All I can say is that I LOVE IT!! It has many of the same features as the previous release but the new additions are fantastic. The poem is the best new addition. The animation was spectacular. I also really enjoyed the behind the scenes at the haunted mansion. I would recommend this dvd to anyone who is a fan of the movie! and because of the included digital copy I have a copy on itunes with me at all time! :)

Camp Rock (Extended Rock Star Edition)

CD-Charts > DVD > Kids and Family
starring: Joe Jonas, Demi Lovato, Nick Jonas, Kevin Jonas, Meaghan Jette Martin
directed by: Matthew Diamond

Release Date August 19, 2008
This is a Disney Channel Original Movie, so don't go into it expecting anything too much in the way of a plot. The sitcom-type story is supported (and padded) by a full soundtrack of tween pop music and dancing, and touches on many of the issues facing the target age group, namely fitting in, peer pressure, un-cool and too-cool parents, jealousy, and last but not least, loving the Jonas Brothers.

Tween idol Joe Jonas plays the leading man, a young pop star who's been behaving badly, and gets sentenced to teaching dance classes at an upscale summer camp for musicians. The other Jonas brothers also play supporting roles, and perform a couple of songs at the camp.

Demi Lovato plays the female lead, a promising singer/songwriter ... Read More:

Sleeping Beauty is a great Disney movie. Even though I have all of the Disney Platinum Edition DVDs, I'm not planning on buying this because I already have the 2003 DVD Special Edition release. I will add it to my Platinum Edition collection.

directed by: Sid Marcus, Art Leonardi, Hawley Pratt

Release Date January 31, 2006
The Pink Panther has always remained a very important figure in the history of modern animation. A character like this one who uses only physical actions to speak for him definitely has universal/worldwide appeal. So, it turned out to be a dream come true when this remarkable 5-disc DVD set entitled "The Pink Panther Classic Cartoon Collection" was released. It contains 124 classic Pink Panther cartoon shorts together on 5 DVDs. Overall, this set is a really great value for your investment. It truly belongs in every DVD home library. Starting off with the first in the series, the Academy Award winning "The Pink Phink", every short is presented in chronological order through the rest of the discs. I remember watching these cartoons shorts when I was a kid; and now, it is an even ... Read More:

Release Date August 05, 2008
because this could have easily been a G rating. Besides the fact the star, Nim, acted like a spoiled brat whenever the author came to her rescue. Other than those two mentioned, I'd have given this one a 5 STAR. My entire family enjoyed this movie. Plus it's only about 90 min!

There is apparently a Regional Restriction for viewing the DVD in Australian DVD player. So we were unable to view the DVD on our DVD player. It would nice that when we purchase the DVD that Amazon.com would tell us that there would be restrictions in viewing the DVD in Australia and restrict us in continuing with the purchase.
